I think they trade up to get the best MLB on the board. My guess is that it will be Arthur Brown.

And it's going to need to be a guy who can cover TEs, especially now the Bengals have Eifert.

Do you think they trade up to get the best or they wait until 1 or 2 of them are taken so we can trade up the least amount possible to still get one of Te'o, Brown, or Minter? We could also look for the WR talent that is falling. There are so many good WRs still on the board. Or I'd be very happy with Menelik Watson if he's around for a little.

Also, how much do you think we'll have to give up to move up? According to the trade chart, we'd have to give up #2 and #3 just to move up 12 spots, but I know teams didn't really stick to that chart at all yesterday. I'd prefer to keep our third round pick so we can still try and snag either a falling ILB (Khaseem Greene) or falling WR (Stedman Bailey) depending on what we do in the 2nd._________________
GO RAVENS!!

I can't project who will be available at our pick, but I'd bet that of these names... if hypothetically speaking ALL of these guys were on the board (I know they won't be) Tank Carradine is the guy that would be the pick.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly like the ILB prospects and I like the WRs, but a healthy Tank Carradine has to be the best player available. He reminds me a lot of Terrell Suggs watching him on tape. Excellent run defender, strong pass rusher, and just a physical football player. He's also an edge threat with great instincts to sniff out trickery. And the thing is, he's big, long, and athletic. Looking at him on tape, I felt as tough his pass rushing skills could use a lot of work to them... but even without great technique, he's produced at a high level. I'd love to see what Monachino can do with him... and just imagine how nasty our front 7 looks with all those pieces.

Well, when I say trade up, I'm envisaging it being only about a dozen to fifteen spots. So the best ILB available by the middle of the second round. If Te'o or Minter go early, then it might be in the Ravens' interests to get ahead of the Bears and possibly the Giants too.

I wouldn't want to give up that 3rd round pick either, unless the Ravens later try to get another one from someone by trading one of their 4ths and a combination of later round picks._________________

Many on FF, myself being one of them, mentioned how the value wouldn't be the same in this draft and the TVC wouldn't really be the best indicator of value for trades. This was because of two things... 1) The immense depth of this draft makes the value of a pick worth a little less and 2) the top of the draft in particular had no true game changing, elite level values.

Now in terms of the second round, we're probably going to see trades closer to TVC compensation because we're entering the sweet spot of this draft. That said, the depth of talent will still impact how aggressive teams will be and should allow for more conservative deals. So maybe not a late 3rd, but maybe a swap of our 3rd and a 5th... something that would provide mid 4th round value. I'm just spitballing though because I'm too lazy to actually look at the TVC right now.

The above scenario is assuming we're moving up 12 spots._________________

Well swapping third round picks would be to our advantage, so maybe something like :

I wouldn't be shocked to see us trade a 3 4 and 6 for a high two to take Brown and then hope a reciever, Hunter, Allen or Woods falls to 64._________________Really just waiting for Ozzie to draft Karlos Williams
